How better to make her point? She used the exact same thinking that the male coach used. Call 'em "men". Why should anybody care? Everybody knows they're girls. . . Somehow that's not insulting.
But when she then uses the same technique -- Call him "she". Why should anybody care? Everybody knows he's a man -- you
presume that it's insulting.
That's exactly her point. And while I personally wouldn't pick this fight, I don't think it's all that far-fetched.
